Calls: ALSA UCM config not making a difference with volume

...but that made no difference, aside from volumes chosen by the user being reset. Call microphone volume remains to be extremely loud.

Among audio servers, aside from ALSA obviously, I only have PipeWire installed.


This issue started on kernel 6.8 something.

It does not happen with postmarketOS because they are still on older kernel.

This line is the microphone volume control:
Code:
cset "name='ADC Capture Volume' 0"

Unfortunately with newer kernels that 0 is still way too loud.
Default should be 47 (in my understanding 47 should be something like: "I will transmit your voice to modem in the exact same level as you speak". If you put that to 0 then it should transmit your voice in lower than you speak. And for example if you put it to 100 it should transmit louder than you speak)
Well how ever this currently not working like it should (not with any kernel).

Most decent callaudio volume is with kernel below 6.8 and ADC Capture Volume somewhere near 160.
Then you will have issue where incoming call to suspended PPP will decrease the mic so much that it is almost completely silence.

So you don't have good options, sorry.
